Volunteer

Volunteers are an integral part of our organization. They are the heart of Project SHARE, performing many essential tasks. Our core group of volunteers give their time to assist families in need that receive emergency food. These volunteers provide a friendly welcome and help to make families feel comfortable when visiting Project SHARE. Warehouse volunteers provide muscle power and are detailed when sorting through donated food, checking for expiry dates and dented canned food items that cannot be used within the food bank.

Additional volunteer opportunities are available too. Consider getting involved by helping at events such as our annual food drives, parades and an assortment of other community events. After business hours and weekend opportunities are available occasionally throughout the year.

Coop student placements are available at Project SHARE but are limited to 2 students per semester. Administrative and warehouse positions are also available. Some administrative duties can include photocopying, data entry, creative design and assisting with events. Warehouse duties include sorting food, janitorial duties, lifting and recycling. Coop opportunities are offered through an interview process with our Volunteer Coordinator and the coop school administrator.
